MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 18, 1996 <br />• <br />( #8 - #2116 John and Lynn Walstedt - Continued) <br />Gustafson commented on the drainage on the site. The low spot on the property collects <br />runoff in the wetland and takes it to an area near Bederwood. The change to the drainage <br />would allow more drainage to the south to the county road. The County will review the <br />plan for possible improvements on Bayside, but Gustafson felt the drainage by Bederwood <br />was a larger problem. He did not see any potential for erosion and was in favor of the <br />swale. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Smith moved, Hawn seconded, to approve the conditional use permit for the new <br />construction and for the erosion control with County review prior to project beginning. <br />Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />(Schroeder was not in attendance during this application and did not participate in the <br />vote. Hawn was excused from the meeting at this time.) <br />(#9) #2117 THOMAS MCCUNE, 1473 BAY RIDGE ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMITNARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING - 9:07 -9;12 P.M. <br />• The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Mabusth noted that the property has suffered major erosion problems. She recalled the <br />emergency ordinance of 1987 allowing property owners to make repairs with Staff <br />approval after a major rain storm. 24' of retaining walls at the northeast corner were <br />installed at that time. Mabusth commented that it has been the Engineer's <br />recommendation to install masonry walls but the Engineer has approved the timber wall <br />design and detail. The timber wall design ties in with what is presently on the property. <br />Peterson commented on the necessity of the retaining walls with its proximity to the <br />roadway. Peterson explained that the trend for masonry is being encouraged due to the <br />eventual failing of timber -type walls. Mabusth said she had informed the applicant of the <br />need for County permit but added that Dave Zetterstrom of the County had verbally <br />voiced his approval. <br />Berg moved, Smith seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2117 for a <br />conditional use permit with Staff recommendations #1 -4. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Mabusth said the application would be on the agenda of the Council meeting of March 25, <br />. 1996. <br />12 <br />
